We also just replaced the panel on our Maytag using your video and it works again beautifully!!! You saved us having to pay a repairman to do it. THANK YOU!!!! THANK YOU!!!! THANK YOU!!!!
Can’t thank you enough for this video!! You saved us over $800! You made it so easy that even though I know almost nothing about appliances and electrical work, I was able to repair our dishwasher! Thank you!!!
Great video! I have the same dishwasher that had the exact same problem. Before I had a chance to see your video, my wife called a "repair man" to look at it. After an $82 visit, his recommendation was to get a new dishwasher. Oh hell no. Before spending hundreds more, I searched online for a possible solution and found your video. I found a new touchpad on ebay for $75. It arrived, I installed it easily thanks to your video, and bam! Dishwasher works like new. Many thanks!
I have the exact same dishwasher and exact same problem. I also just had a repair guy come and he told us the same thing, buy a new dishwasher. We just sold our house and are moving in 2 weeks. I reallllllly don’t want to buy a new one. The link to purchase the part brings me to something different. Any suggestions? Thank you for the easy fix!
This was the best easiest video! I even found out why it went bad. There was no inner cover and no gasket. 🤔 Now I’ll have to find these parts. Thanks for the video it was exactly this easy!!!
THANK YOU! I ordered one and replaced my panel and Voila! You made it so easy, plus your video helped me troubleshoot my issue which was exactly what I saw on the one you were repairing!
Thank you so much! Even though this video is 4 years old, it worked like a charm! However, inflation and the age of this model means the part price is higher and harder to find. We paid $195. Still cheaper than a new dishwasher and super easy to do for this 45 year old mom. Thanks again!
Thank you very much for the detailed video. One of the key points that stood out for me in this video is, when the patch cable is reattached to the computer panel, the first pin (on our side) should be left open.
I notice the Amazon link is different than the one you replaced it with. Will this still work for this same model? The one in the link has a few extra buttons. I have the exact model you were working on
Mine has a similar issue, but I think it needs a different fix. My buttons work fine, but In my case after each cycle it just doesn't turn on, I press the button, but nothing happens. But I sort of recognized the behavior from building my own computers, so I went to my electrical panel, I pulled the breaker, walked back in and behold, it worked. Problem is I have to do it every time I need to do a load. My thinking is that the board is defective in some way, maybe repairable, maybe not, but the hillbilly solution would be to insert a switch on the electrical line (I'll pull the breaker first, no worries) so I don't have to go outside every time I have to wash dishes. Thank you for giving me an idea of what is behind the panel though. That's always helpful so one doesn't forget to unscrew something and breaks the panel in pieces. Any ideas of what could be wrong that gets fixed by a reboot?
It could be the heating element is causing the problem because it fires up at the end of the cycle and that’s when it had problems. Maybe a new heating element will help?
You can unplug it and then remove the screws from the inside of the door so that you can remove the upper control panel. Then you can disconnect the touchpad from the main controller by removing the wire connections to the touchpad. If you then close the door and turn on the dishwasher to start it if it does begin the cycle then you know the controller is OK.
I just looked my part up for my Maytag key pad and it's like 200 to 300 dollars.....it's cheaper me to just get a new dishwasher for that price.....I have the Maytag legacy series quiet series 300....very expensive part
I agree, You might try unplugging the ribbon cable from the controller and cleaning the end if it with a pencil eraser and then plug it back in to see if it works 👍
I have the same dishwasher. In my case the start button flashes 3 times. When it does that I know I have to turn the breaker off/on, then it starts and runs normally. Does this sound like I need a new keyboard? Thanks
Thank you for these instructions. However, when I look for the Touchpad Panel with the Model # from my dishwasher, there is NOT ONE. Is there possibly somewhere that I can find one?
I have the mbd4709awb4 maytag. You have the best video I've watched. I'm pretty convinced its my control panel that needs replacing but still concerned it may be the actual control board. Is there a way to know for sure so I don't waste $$$ on a panel for nothing? Also, I found Parts dr to be the best 👍. Id definitely be buying there. PS: no buttons light (except for high temp, heat dry, n sanitize) or work. The left side cycle buttons haven't worked for awhile, btw. So to turn it on you had to push start (default ran on 'normal'). Now can't even do that.
I’m confused, this video u show to replace the whole front ( keypad) not the computer.... and I saw another video of yours you replaced the computer not the front panel.... so how do I know what is the Wright part to replace with knowing that the start / cancel are only two not working.. if u have Answr for me that would be highly appreciated...
I have had to replace mine twice in a little over 8 years. The failure point on mine was a poorly made ribbon cable on the touch pad both times. Still cheaper than a new dishwasher.
Thanks. I bought the control panel through Amazon. Now, It works well. Only down point is that it is not easy to find same color panel board with dish washer.
@@johnyoungheankim8241 You're right. I need black and parts dr has a reasonable price but black is out of stock. Other sites have black but at $40-50 more (for any colors). I'll just be a decor trend setter buying white n save that 50 bucks.
FYI, Maytag no longer carries the touch panel on our dishwasher. Maytag used to be known for continuing to support their appliances for the long term. No more. My refrigerator, same problem. Check out replacement parts webpage. Pick something. There's a whole bunch of something like, "this part is no longer available from our supplier". IE, it's the "supplier's" fault. I did not buy a dishwasher from Maytag's "supplier". I did not buy a refrigerator from Maytag's "supplier". I bought appliances from Maytag. And Maytag is not ensuring availability of replacement parts. Probably not past warranty? No sign this is covid related / temporary. Just too bad for you. It's our "supplier's" fault. Will be buying a dishwasher. NOT a Maytag.
I have replaced the touch pad twice on mine in 8 years. The failure point is a poorly make ribbon cable on the touch pad. The circuit board did not need replacement on mine.
James Ashby www.partsdr.com put your model number in to get right part. 877-800-0828 Best thing I ever did was watch this video. I fixed it first try, correct part but also remember you mat need the inner plastic for the handle. Video exact😀

It's not accurate to search based on the numbers molded into the plastic, so make sure to sure on our site by using the model number from the tag on the dishwasher to locate the correct part.

You saved me from an expensive repair call! Thanks to this video I swapped the control panel out in 15 minutes. Thanks very much!
Awesome, thanks Matt😊
I installed the part, no problems, dishwasher works great. Could not have done this without your video. Thanks again.

Thank you, thank you. Ordered the part from Parts Dr. and my handy husband replaced it. I can hear the dishes being washed right now.
Awesome ,

I would check Google using your model number 👍
I had the same issue, followed your video, ordered the part and done in less then 10 min.! Thank you!
Thanks for the video. I figured it was the key pad. Nice to see some confirmation.
Thanks Jack👍
Do you happen to have a link? The Amazon one isn’t working. This video is so helpful.
Thanks for the video. The control panel is expensive. How do I confirm it is the problem rather than the circuit board.
Thank you for posting this video. I have the same issue and used your video to solve it!

Hi! I have the exact same dishwasher but I couldn't find the control panel part. Where did you get it? Thanks for the great Video
Did you find one? RepairClinic.com if not might help out.

Thanks for your help! Going to try this.
Thanks Michael,
Good luck
so i really need to purchase a front board? do you think i could just remove and put back on
You can try, but the cheap bubble buttons are probably damaged.
Can you tell me where the buy the part? Thanks
Thanks

Thanks Nick,
You may have a blown fuse on the controller located behind the control panel.
I've got all the buttons lighting up except for the delay, it's just not starting, do you think it's still shorted?
All buttons lit but no action, probably need to replace the touch pad
